The Pearsall Plan and School Desegregation in North Carolina, 1954-1966 by Arthur Larentz Carlson Abstract With All Deliberate Speed: The Pearsall Plan and School Desegregation in North Carolina, 1954-1966 by Arthur Larentz Carlson March, 2011 Director: Wade G. Dudley DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY The decision of the United States Supreme Court in Brown v. the Board of Education legally ended the operation of segregated schools in the South. In North Carolina, a series of legal challenges began under the Pupil Assignment Act and, later, the Pearsall Plan to delay the desegregation of the state‟s school systems. In an effort to avoid massive public demonstrations, violence, and the closing of public schools as a result of public outrage, the Pearsall Plan transferred control of pupil assignments, along with the power to request the closing of schools, to local school boards. The decentralization of desegregation allowed communities to determine the level of social change comfortable to the majority of an area‟s residents. As a result, no school in any of the over one-hundred independent school systems in North Carolina lost a single day of classes on account of civil disobedience. This thesis examines the background, development, and effect of the Pearsall Plan on North Carolina‟s educational, political, and social systems. It also outlines the factors that led North Carolina‟s leaders to deliberately embark down a path with one known ending: the declaration of the unconstitutionality of the Pearsall Plan. The decisions of these individuals and the outcome of their efforts comprise the focus of this thesis. 1 With All Deliberate Speed: The Pearsall Plan and School Desegregation in North Carolina, 1954-1966 A Thesis Presented To The Faculty of the Department of History East Carolina University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Arthur Larentz Carlson March, 2011 © Arthur Larentz Carlson, 2011 With All Deliberate Speed: The Pearsall Plan and School Desegregation in North Carolina, 1954-1966 By Arthur Larentz Carlson APPROVED BY: DIRECTOR OF THESIS:__________________________________________________ Wade G.

I would especially like to thank the members of my committee, Dr. Larry Tise, Dr. Michael Palmer, Dr. Henry Ferrell, and Dr. Wade Dudley. Dr. Tise‟s willingness to share his expertise, experience, and reputation advanced my research in ways I could not have achieved without him. Dr. Palmer‟s kindness and willingness to participate in this endeavor have earned my eternal gratitude. Dr. Ferrell‟s generous donation of his time and knowledge, along with his suggestion of the Pearsall Plan as a topic, were instrumental to the entirety of this undertaking. Dr. Wade Dudley, mere words will never express the depth of gratitude I have for you. From the first day I set foot on campus, you have always been willing to go above and beyond reasonable effort to help me overcome countless obstacles to this point. I must also thank each of my professors here at East Carolina, especially Dr. Jonathan Reid, Dr. John Stevens, Dr. David Dennard, Dr. Donald Parkerson, and the lessons I learned under your tutelage will continue to shape the remainder of my life. I also cannot forget John Sanders of the UNC School of Government, the guidance you provided in understanding the legal and political ramifications of the Pearsall Plan, along with your firsthand knowledge many of the principal characters in this story. Special thanks to the staff of the Joyner Library North Carolina Collection, who provided research support, morale improvement, and the assistantship which led to a deeper love of North Carolina history. To the many friends I made of classmates and others I met here, thank you for all the smiles, laughs, shared memories, and advice. Thank you to my parents, Milton and Betty Lofton, for their support, encouragement, and faith which have and will continue to carry me through difficult times. I cannot forget my faithful Molly, who spent numerous nights and early mornings faithfully remaining by my side during periods of intense writing and even more periods spent staring at a blank page. Most importantly, to my wife Hayley, thank you for the endless patience and compassion as I undertook this task. I hope that the completion of this project leads to a new undertaking, one in which we may both share fond memories of mutual support similar to this.

In a stunning consensus decision, the United States Supreme Court overturned dual race separate but equal facilities, protected by Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). In the opinion released by Chief Justice Earl Warren in the Brown v. Board of Education (1954) decision, the Court announced that the operation of segregated schools inherently disadvantaged children of color.1 The outcome of Brown set in motion across the South the first series of defiant challenges to the authority of the federal government since the Civil War. Politicians in Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, and Mississippi quickly vowed to preserve the tradition of segregation. The public response in North Carolina was less vehement. North Carolina‟s civic leaders asked citizens to exhibit the patience and understanding to maintain the semblance of those patterns practiced by Tar Heel residents since the beginning of the twentieth century.2 The Pearsall Plan rose from this desire to avoid significant social and economic disruption. Though not without its critics, and rightfully so from some perspectives, the Plan avoided much of the misery suffered in other states as it eased North Carolina towards a fully desegregated society. North Carolina Governor William B. Umstead, who never fully recovered from a heart attack suffered two days after his inauguration on January 8, 1953, realized the importance of guaranteeing the continued operation of the state‟s public schools. Massive resistance north in Virginia and proclamations of defiance south in Georgia and South Carolina threatened the survival of North Carolina‟s public schools and heightened racial tensions throughout the region. 1 The National Center for Public Policy Research, “Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954) (USCC+), Supreme Court of the United States, http://www.nationalcenter.org/brown.html. 2 Sarah C. Thuesen, “Pearsall Plan,” in Encyclopedia of North Carolina, Edited by William S. Powell (Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press, 2006), 873. Umstead turned to his long-time political ally, Thomas Jenkins Pearsall of Rocky Mount, to head the newly formed Governor‟s Special Advisory Committee on Education.3 This first Committee on Education comprised nineteen North Carolinians, including three black members. 4 That August, Umstead deliberately selected committee members from across the state in an effort to placate concerns over sectional favoritism, a concern that had plagued North Carolina politics since the colonial era. The committee members often held meetings in Pearsall‟s converted basement recreational room where the committee members sought to achieve two goals: “preservation of public education in North Carolina” and “preservation

The result is deeply imperfect. Its faults come from my many shortcomings as an author. For anything this project does accomplish, I owe credit to the many people who have helped me along the way. Completing this project would have been impossible without the love, support, and inspiration of my parents, Hal and Lisa Elliott. During my upbringing, they instilled the values that guided me through the moral choices that a project like this one entails. My mother and her family have always been the driving forces behind my research into Lumbee and American Indian history. My father, a reluctant physician, passed down his fondness for history and dream of writing it. In the many difficult moments over the past eight years, my parents steadied me with long hugs or reassuringly familiar, South Carolina-accented voices on the phone.

  • Lessons on Political Speech, Academic Freedom, and University Governance from the New North Carolina
    LESSONS ON POLITICAL SPEECH, ACADEMIC FREEDOM, AND UNIVERSITY GOVERNANCE FROM THE NEW NORTH CAROLINA * Gene Nichol Things don’t always turn out the way we anticipate. Almost two decades ago, I came to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) after a long stint as dean of the law school in Boulder, Colorado. I was enthusiastic about UNC for two reasons. First, I’m a southerner by blood, culture, and temperament. And, for a lot of us, the state of North Carolina had long been regarded as a leading edge, perhaps the leading edge, of progressivism in the American South. To be sure, Carolina’s progressive habits were often timid and halting, and usually exceedingly modest.1 Still, the Tar Heel State was decidedly not to be confused with Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, or my home country, Texas. Frank Porter Graham, Terry Sanford, Bill Friday, Ella Baker, and Julius Chambers had cast a long and ennobling shadow. Second, I have a thing for the University of North Carolina itself. Quite intentionally, I’ve spent my entire academic career–as student, professor, dean, and president–at public universities. I have nothing against the privates. But it has always seemed to me that the crucial democratizing aspirations of higher education in the United States are played out, almost fully, in our great and often ambitious state institutions. And though they have their challenges, the mission of public higher education is a near-perfect one: to bring the illumination and opportunity offered by the lamp of learning to all. Black and white, male and female, rich and poor, rural and urban, high and low, newly arrived and ancient pedigreed–all can, the theory goes, deploy education’s prospects to make the promises of egalitarian democracy real.

From Red Shirts to Research: The Question of Progressivism in North Carolina, 1898 to 1959 Calen Randolph Clifton Introduction The concept of progressivism is hard to grasp. In a literal sense, progressivism is the idea that advances in a society can improve the quality of life experienced by the members of that society. However, the ways in which different individuals and groups view "progress" can be paradoxical. This is especially true in societies that are struggling with internal strife and discord.

I love you, Mama! ii To my friends and family, and especially to Anne-Leslie Owens, Dr. West, Dr. Sharp, and Dr. Myers-Shirk, thank you for your continuing support, patience, impatience and much-needed pep talks. iii ABSTRACT This research project came about through a partnership between the Middle Tennessee State University Center for Historic Preservation (CHP) and The United States General Services Administration (GSA). GSA approached the CHP, a nonprofit research center, for the purpose of recommending historical treatments in the Century Station Federal Building and Courthouse in Raleigh, North Carolina. During the course of the research project, questions arose regarding what period of significance best defines a building that evolved over several important stages during distinctly different points in American history. Ultimately the answers to those questions came in the form of extant physical documentation such as architectural drawings and paint samples, historical documentation in the form of newspapers and photographs, and an understanding of the importance of each stage of the building’s development in the greater
